For a wedding that is both budget friendly and extremely charming, throw a backyard garden wedding! By doing this, you'll be cutting out one of the most expensive costs: your venue. It also makes it easier to play with ideas and test out different concepts. Here, we've gathered all the elements for a darling backyard wedding in classic pink and green.

When throwing a wedding in a backyard or any outdoor venue, it's important to punch up those pale colors. Bright colors and deeper tones look best outside, so if you have a pale color scheme going just add a few brighter tones to make it pop. Another very important thing to remember is to plan your event around what's blooming in your garden. You can never go wrong with green and white and if you want to add a punch of color, take your cue from your garden blooms!

We gathered cabbage and rambling roses into depression glass vases and placed them on top of a sweet checkered pink cloth. We layered cloths for a homey, casual feel. It also makes it easier to use linens you already own, but improvising with different sizes and shapes, To add a modern touch and punch up the color scheme, we added these bright, handmade letterpress tags from Linda and Harriett as place tags. They brighten up the table and the design is a bit more modern, but it works. The tags are letterpress so they still offer that handmade touch for a quaint wedding. We collected vintage silverware, glasses and napkins from ebay and garage sales to give the table a vintage feel.

Don't rule out your own backyard for your wedding and don't be afraid to use your own flowers and linens...just punch them up with a few modern touches and a bit of color!
